Project Abstract

Managed a global project team with responsibility to simultaneously implement six (6) major enhancements into a single instance of the corporate SAP application.  These six enhancements included the following:

• Integrate three (3) new products, gained from the parent company, into the production processes at the manufacturing facility located in Germany.  This involved an international project team working in several different countries.
• Move a corporate sales office from Singapore to Hong Kong.  This involved total reconfiguration of SAP to incorporated rules and regulations of the new country.
• Integrate forty-seven (47) new plasma collection centers into the corporate structure.  This effort was the result of a major acquisition of a new supply company.
• Modify, test, and validate SAP to enable the EURO to be utilized as the “House Currency” for all of the European locations.  This required modifications and configuration changes within SAP as well as data conversion from each currency that was being captured in SAP into EURO’s.
• Implement a new “Sales Office” in France.  This was the first corporate sales office in France and required significant planning and management effort.  This office was implemented with EURO as the “House Currency”.
• Establish and manage a global Customer Care Team with responsibility to manage all user requested changes to the corporate SAP system.

Each individual project required strong global project management and coordination to ensure success.  However, the fact that they all occurred at the same time and were implementing changes into a single corporate instance of SAP, further complicated the project management process.

All projects were completed within the time and cost estimates defined in the original budget.
